Thunder Aim for 3-0 Lead Without Jalen Williams

The Oklahoma City Thunder, holding the top seed, are set to play the eighth-seeded Phoenix Suns in Game 3 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series on Saturday. Oklahoma City aims to establish a commanding 3-0 lead after winning the first two games, including a 120-107 victory on Wednesday.

The Thunder will be without Jalen Williams, who has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. This matchup is scheduled to tip off at 3:30 p.m. ET from Phoenix. The Thunder hold a narrow lead in the all-time playoff series and have won the last four postseason meetings.

SportsLine's Projection Model, which simulates games 10,000 times, predicts the total score will go under 214.5. This projection aligns with the fact that the Under has hit in four of the Suns' last seven games. The Suns have averaged the fifth-fewest points this season at 112.6 per game, while the Thunder's defense has allowed the second-fewest points.
